But the model is open weight?

The author didn't say "we (all software engineers)", so the only person including you in his class is you.

He's had a private Twitter for a while.

Should've called it Safestral. Also I do like Mistral's seemingly newer strategy of focusing on smaller, more fine-tuned models for various use-cases, presumably the result of thei…

Arguably the majority of codebases are not available on the public internet

I remember going from Tiger to Leopard and thinking "this is nice, I like a lot of these changes" and then going from Leopard to Snow Leopard and thinking "wow this is great ". The…

The thing about data centers and thermoelectric power plants is that you can make them effectively closed cycle, vs agriculture where that is somewhat intractable. Not saying that …

What I meant by "will they?" was "will they any more than a human already needs to in order to understand other humans?" I don't think this is legibly that different from human beh…

Will they? This really isn't different from how humans interact with each other. The vast majority of lying is not people being explicitly asked to lie in some form, it is incentiv…

That is just a single benchmark tho

Medium vs High? Why? From all the charts I've seen the performance jump is pretty large from med -> high (not as noticeable from high -> xhigh).

So let's say hypothetically we kept the number of homeless people stable in Oakland, but made them all white. You think all (most? many?) of the people currently complaining about …

Homelessness is pretty race neutral tho? Especially in Oakland, which is incredibly race-balanced.

It is actually definitely yes! You can script with JS. Steve Ruiz demonstrates having an LLM do that for you in his intro video to this "offline" version of tldraw: https://www.you…

The typical meaning of space junk is stuff orbiting around without the ability to control itself and without de-orbiting, therefore presenting a risk/nuisance to other things in or…

> However, the rapidly increasing numbers of launches to low Earth orbit now threaten to increase the levels of space junk reentering the atmosphere. Isn't it not space junk if it …

If you want the "agentic future" version of this (sorry), tldraw just relased "tldraw offline"[1] which in some ways has a lot of overlap with HyperCard as well. [1] https://offlin…

Is it? There are shills and bots all over the internet, and referring to the model as ChatGPT is probably common for some people, but not for software engineers that actually track…

The fact you called it ChatGPT instead of Codex makes me suspicious of this entire comment.

Gimbal the floor?

With so few parameters, I imagine a voice fine-tune might be readily tractable.

Re-light seems to be one of their biggest remaining obstacles in a lot of these flight tests.

The problem with the rest of inference is that changes are not trivially correct or incorrect, as they are with the tokenization layer.

Tokenization is <0.1% of the inference time for the first token in the same way it is <0.1% for the last.
